Powys-based joinery manufactrer ELAM has become the 500th member of the British Woodworking Federation (BWF).

ELAM proprietor Hywell Evans said: “It’s like joining the Premier League, you associate with the top companies that are serious in providing the best quality and the BWF team not only give the best advice, they also know precisely what they are talking about, being up-to-date with all the regulations.”

BWF director Richard Lambert said that reaching 500 members was a real landmark for the BWF. “We work hard to recruit new members and even harder to make sure that once they’ve joined, they get real benefits for their subscriptions,” he said.
